Origin

On August 11th, 2019, the episode of the TLC reality series Unexpected "Five Generations of Teen Parents" aired in the United States. In the episode, a teen boy named Matthew says of his sister Tanya, "I have a love-hate relationship with Tanya. She's crazy sometimes. Tanya barely lets us out of the house. She locks her doors all the time. Every door gets locked. I know she got kidnapped when she was young. That's part of the reason that she's the way she is. She's got PTSD or whatever, post-traumatic down syndrome. No, she ain't got down syndrome. I'm tripping."

Several months later, YouTuber Shania Faith posted a clip of the episode on YouTube. The post received more than 54,000 views in less than one year (shown below).
